Looks like a java bug, similar to #9771.

Does it happen all the time ?

Please, try to install java 1.7 a long side 1.8 and use update-alternatives or a local script to start JOSM with java 1.7

It looks like to be again ​javabug:6322854

I implemented a workaround for it in r5752 to fix #8404 but it looks like something still must be done.

Replying to skyper:

Please, try to install java 1.7

It won't help, this bug affects all versions of Java.

@michaelinredhill: did you paste something (your login or your password) just before the crash?

[Don-vip]

In 8038/josm:

fix #11093 - workaround for Java bug JDK-6322854 in JosmTextField. Use it in CredentialDialog
